Win A Game Please! 1983 was not a winning season for the Dukes. The team was small and several of their key players suffered injuries during the season. Even so, the team did achieve several victories. Players also enjoyed the Homecoming Parade, the pep rallies, and the bon fire. Some players had it made — such as Tray Richard, who was named to the all-district team for two posi- tions and Tommy Brown, who was voted “Mr. Football.” The Dukes did manage to win three games, two which were the first and the last games. 6 Varsity Football The Cumberland Dukes Varsity Football team members are: ROW 1: Kelly Hardy, Dwayne Bryant, Tony Taylor, Chris Riddle, Paul Duty, John Robertson.
